2.4 Mounting WARNING： The controller doesn’t have battery reverse polarity protection. DO NOT reversely connect the battery wires, the controller may be damaged. WARNING: Risk of explosion! Never install the controller in a sealed enclose with flooded batteries! Do not install in a confined area where battery gas can accumulate. - Page 14 Step 2：Remove the terminal protective cover Step3：Connect the battery and PV NOTE: Disconnect the system in the reverse order...
- Page 15 WARNING：The controller doesn’t have battery reverse polarity protection. DO NOT reversely connect the battery wires, the controller may be damaged. CAUTION: While wiring the controller do not close the circuit breaker or fuse and make sure that the leads of "+" and "-" poles are connected correctly. CAUTION: A fuse which current is 1.25 to 2 times the rated current of the controller must be installed on the battery side with a distance from the battery not greater than 150 mm.
- Page 16 Connect the accessories for RS485 communication, refer to the accessories list. Step 7：Powered on the controller Turn on the battery fuse to power on the controller, then check the LCD is OFF or the fault indictor is ON when the controller is normal. CAUTION: If the controller is not operating properly or the battery indicator on the controller shows an abnormality, please refer to 4.2 “Troubleshooting”.
